Rust's new jungle update has finally brought me back to it.

the new vine swinging and climbable trees gives the game’s combat in forests a lot more depth than it had. I’m just sad nobody is playing the primitive mode now, since it would have been perfect for the jungles

I thought this was a post about the Rust programming language at first, and I was really confused

The opposite used to happen way more back in the day. People would go into /r/rust and talk about the game.

To be fair, things tend to get rusty in the jungle.

I don’t like games where you can lose a ton of progress. Extraction games are the closest I’ll get to Rust :p I do watch rust trap bases on YouTube though.

Yeah that can be annoying, but it’s also rust’s greatest strength, no other game can match the intense rush you get during a fight in rust. and for more casual players there is modded servers with more plentify loot.

True, i think a 2x pve with friends would be ideal in that case

you’re absolutely right about the rush when everything is on the line.

my most memorable moment was at night, pitch black out, and there’s some idiot kid screaming about Shrek running around outside. I had a pipe shotgun and a small bunch of resources, and I was hiding in my tiny 1x1 shack.

that was the scariest shit on earth. and when he came knocking on my door asking me some shit about Shrek it gave me a few seconds to line up the shot through the door, so I quickly opened it and fired. immediately the yelling about Shrek ceased and I was left with complete silence and darkness.

it’s so good looking!! and the animals are scary if you aren’t well armed. I haven’t tried swinging on a vine yet.
